Below the Kill Line

Chen Ping, a 17-year-old Chinese boy who is struggling below the ALICE line (people with limited assets, poor income but working people), is marked by the social system as an "asset to be liquidated". When debt collection gangs, corporate shady circles and ruthless laws were about to swallow him and his seriously ill father, a mysterious [Underlying Asset Reorganization Experiment] system came to him - not salvation, but a social experiment with a mortality rate of 99.97%. Taking advantage of loopholes to get a glimpse of the rules of society, he decided to use the scalpel given by the system to reversely dissect the meat grinder called the "American Dream." One sentence summary: When society marks you as a "bad asset" and is ready to liquidate it, the only thing you can do is to make yourself so expensive that they can't afford to liquidate it.
